- These games were designed for pre-school children, at
- several levels of development and skill. Number
- recognition is stressed, with some emphasis on counting
- skills. Familiar children's songs are used throughout the
- program to reward success. Numeric scores are also given.
- We have found these useful for encouraging older siblings
- to share in the learning experience with the pre-school
- child. These games are not solitaire games. A reading
- adult is needed to get things started, and to make the
- experience a more rewarding one.

-
- answer is accompanied by a rising tone, an incorrect
- answer by a falling tone. After playing five games of
- three blocks each, a good score is rewarded with a song.
- There is also a complementary statement made. The
- opportunity to play again is presented. Enter "Y" to
- restart the game, or "N" to return to the opening menu.
-
- A Maze adventure :
- A maze is drawn onto the screen.
- Inside the maze are 6 red "MUSIC BOXES" and 2 brown
- "EXITS". To move around inside the maze, enter the number
- of the location where you wish to move the smiling face
- to. Moving to a number changes the number of the location
- where you were. Where there is the same number in two
- adjoining locations, the smiling face will move to the
- number most clockwise. Landing on the red "MUSIC BOX"
- will play a song. Going to a brown "EXIT" will end the
- game and also play a song. Scoring is done by adding the
- number you move to the total so far, as long as it is NOT
- a location visited before. The final score is presented,
- with a statement of congratulation. Again, an option to
- play again is presented. Choosing "N" will return you to
- the menu.
-
- The Counting Game :
- Up to ten colorful boxes are placed on
- the screen at random locations. Enter the number of boxes
- on the screen. If the answer is correct, the next group
- of boxes is presented for counting. The number of boxes
- is added to the total score. If the answer is incorrect,
- the computer will beep, and another opportunity to enter
- the number is given. Should the answer still be
- incorrect, the computer will count off the number of
- correct boxes at the bottom of the screen. The cycle will
- continue until the correct number is entered. When 10
- correct answers are given, a song is played. Scoring
- continues to accumulate until the player ends the game
- with a "Q".
-
- I am done playing :
- When you are done playing, a final
- song is played. The smiling face thanks you for playing.
